"Regardless of the government's colour, it seems to be very difficult to touch them. It was the same for the previous government, even if the same parties, currently in opposition, are happy to make cuts," Purra told Yle.
However, Purra says she thinks that the issue raised by the OECD of cutting business subsidies is important. She stated that subsidies should be examined in particular to see which ones increase productivity and which ones do not.
Although the government cut direct business subsidies by only 12 million euros, Purra points out that indirect business subsidies were also reduced. These typically refer to tax breaks granted to companies.
"It is worth noting that just before the mid-term budget review, we decided to abolish extra electricity subsidies for data centres and mines, which represent tens of millions of euros worth of business supports," she says."

> Finland should gradually abolish the home care allowance, which, according to the organisation’s experts, would get women with young children into the workforce faster.
Great idea for raising birthrate!
Why are we even listening to OECD? Most of the members are way behind us.
Lol literally just pointed out to someone else that if she would just shut the fuck up for a bit the economy would recover quicker. I guess going after our last few viable exports makes sense too. Sink the ship, now shes shooting the survivors in the water. Gotta give it to Finland though, when you fuck up its miraculous.
